B2 speaking practice examHow the B2 practice exam works.
B2 is the highest NT2 level, the one you need to study or work at hbo or university. The texts are denser, the audio plays once at a higher pace, and speaking asks for a longer, argued answer. Practising at B2 keeps your work close to what the real exam asks.
At B2 the exam runs through the Staatsexamen NT2 Programma II, which sets its own format and timing. The four language parts are Reading (Lezen), Listening (Luisteren), Writing (Schrijven) and Speaking (Spreken). Each is scored as a skill score out of 500, with an official CvTE cesuur, not a pass percentage.

B2 is a step up again. The reading texts are denser and more argued, the listening plays once at a higher pace, and speaking includes a long task where you argue a point. It is the level for study or work at hbo or university.
The four language parts: Reading (Lezen), Listening (Luisteren), Writing (Schrijven) and Speaking (Spreken). Each runs through the Staatsexamen NT2 Programma II.
Reading is 100 minutes, listening is 90 minutes, writing is 100 minutes, and speaking is about half an hour of tasks. The practice exams use the same shape so the pace is familiar.
A skill score of at least 500 on each part. That is a scaled score with an official CvTE cesuur, not a percentage of questions right. The practice exams show your scaled score per part.
Each of the four parts costs 50 euro, so the full Staatsexamen NT2 comes to 200 euro. You book it through DUO. Practising here first means the format is no surprise on the day.
